As long as
there is people around there also will be stories. The
opportunity we have is to influence what kind of stories we want
to be told in our organizations/communities and at the same time
we engage people in a powerful work that becomes a part of
creating the organization we want to see.

In every
organization you have to involve people in the goal, to make
them feel a part and responsible for their own actions,
organizations also want to create values that are going to guide
and grow. To make people able to see in what direction the
company and organization are heading they have to know the
direction. To make people feel that they are important they also
have to recognize that they are important for the whole. This
probably becomes much more easy if people have a image of how
they are going to be that important part, how it would be
noticed and in what ways this would be important for the
organization.

As managers or
consultants the act of involving people in organizations and
communities and to make people arise from their recourses is
very powerful. Through exploring things that is working well,
things that people value and feel proud about it is possible to
support a stabile ground for the organization and also to work
for development and handle change. Storytelling is a way to
envisioning the future together and builds stories about how we
would like it to be in the organization it helps to transform
us, to take us to another place in the future and it gives space
to in detail explore the things that would be the signs in the
future. Trying to create this world that is lived and while is
it there is very powerful and engaging. Stories are one way to
influence and make impact on the way people feel and act.
Stories are also a way to make people think in pictures instead
of words

If a story is
told well it allow us to enter a different space. To help people
to tell the kind of stories that enhance the organization and
that encourage people to use and develop their abilities makes
people feel well the inquiry is an important part. To ask
appreciative curious questions about what people are proud of
and how it looks like when it works well makes people feel that
they are important and creates engagement and responsibility for
the future.

At Senspero we
often use storytelling to build and sustain organizations.
Storytelling is a really inspiring and creative way to free
recourses and makes people involved.
